What it says it does

Building resilience and better mental health in adolescents and their surrounding communities through education, awareness, and sponsoring research for the diagnosis and treatment modalities of adolescent mental health.A world where children understand the importance of mental well being as much as physical well being, where they feel confident in accepting whoever they are and they thrive in a stigma-free society about mental illness and/or their sexual/gender identity. We hope for objective treatment options for adolescent mental health through research and clinical trials.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
